"Remember this.... In truth a person dies twice, once when he stops breathing, and a second time when somebody mentions his or her name for the last time. Join us in December when over one million volunteers nationwide, will say the names of a million fallen out loud, to make sure they will never be forgotten."

Please consider sponsoring a wreath ($15) and then join us on Saturday, December 16th, 2017 to remember and honor veterans laid to rest in the St. Denis Cemetery in East Fishkill with the wreaths that are sponsored through our squadron.

In 2008, over 300 locations held wreath-laying ceremonies in every state, Puerto Rico and 24 overseas cemeteries. Over 100,000 wreaths were placed on veterans’ graves. Over 60,000 volunteers participated. And that year, December 13, 2008 was unanimously voted by the US Congress as “Wreaths Across America Day”.

In 2013, 540,000 wreaths were donated and placed at over 900 participating locations.​ In 2014, Wreaths Across America and its national network of volunteers laid over 700,000 memorial wreaths at 1,000 locations in the United States and beyond, including ceremonies at the Pearl Harbor Memorial, as well as Bunker Hill, Valley Forge and the sites of the September 11 tragedies

Wreaths are also placed at 24 offshore cemeteries, including Normandy Beach, in a remembrance ceremony to honor our veterans​
